HB: Austin, what is your power animal?
AN: A seagull.
HB: Why?
AN: Because it’s bones are hollow…. Like me. [laughs]
HB: [gasps] That’s the saddest thing I’ve ever heard!
[cut to Austin running on the beach, chasing seagulls]
AN: [approaching camera] Those are my power animals.
Puzzled that Austin says his power animal is a seagull? Well, it kinda makes sense
Technically there are no such thing as a seagull, there just Gulls, birds that hang around near coastal bodies of water, and a bird bird bird bird is the word, (sorry got a little carried away) is an animal by kingdom, ok, but usually not the first thing to pop in your head when you say name an animal.
So living on the coast for a long time, I've learned a lot about seagulls.
First off they hang at beach a lot (can see that)
They don't just hang out at the beach, they hang wherever they want to, the weather vane on top of the Post Office, the top of the Methodist Church, but the weird thing is they rarely swoop in the business district. They kind of hang out and just where you don't noticed them too much, you see them, you know there but you leave at that. (Hmmm, well that makes sense.)
They can do good things and they can be really really bad. Going after Rachael Ray as she's filming a segment trying to eat a Kelly's Roast Beef on the North Shore- (good) attacking blondes (Tippi Hendren)- (I want to say bad, but....)
They dive bombing and steal. Try eating after you get your food from a clamshack, and those damn birds are everywhere. (Moochers)
They are "resourceful, inquisitive and highly intelligent birds, demonstrating complex methods of communication and a highly developed social structure" - is that what that noise is -disussion over who's getting the sesame bagel (ok, I can see that)
The cartoon versions are always funnier. (that's one to see)
The further inland you see seagulls, tells you if you are headed for bad weather.
They're carnivores and will eat anything that even on a dare.
Now think Austin was thinking about this when he said seagull:
Definitely not this:
maybe not caught in this mob:
Or this, too 70's :
But can totally see this: 
And this:
You know that shirt looks like something he might have picked out
maybe they were looking at a gull.
Birds have freedom they can go anywhere, there is nothing holding them down
They can soar as high as their wings can take them and never fall,
They can fly as far as they want to, but some how they always know the way back home
And sometimes a goose, can look like a gull.
Thanks Nicole T for the transcript
But just one word of caution Austin, if you are like your power animal, I would lay off the alka seltzer cause sea gulls and the tablets that make plop plop fizz fizz aren't a relief it is to a seagull... more like tick tick boom.
